  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Set Internet Proxy in Plesk 12

New Pleskian
Hi there,

I have a Plesk 12 installation behind a firewall. The firewall blocks all outbound 443 and 80 internet ports. One has to use the proxy in order to access the internet. I have set the proxy in my environment file as well as inside the Plesk --web-interface installer.

However, when I try and do something like Retrieve Keys I get an error:

Unable to connect to license server https://ka.odin.com:5224/xmlrpc.
cURL error description: Couldn't connect to server(7)

I tail the proxy and can see it's not using the proxy for this. It's doing a direct connection that's getting blocked.

Where do I tell Plesk to use the proxy for something like this?

Thanks
Chris
 
Hi,

This is the case with me. However, as explained above, I do not know how to tell Plesk to use the proxy for it's renewal. So it doesn't matter how many times I tell Plesk to renew, I keep getting an error:

Unable to connect to license server https://ka.odin.com:5224/xmlrpc.
cURL error description: Couldn't connect to server(7)

And as mentioned, it's because Plesk is trying to make a direct connection that is being blocked. It must use the proxy.

Thanks
Chris
